I just called Walmart and they carry June Tailor brand. I will give it a try. Do you still do some pinning with it too? I must of had 50 pins in my topper.

You can try putting your quilt through a rinse cycle in your machine to get it good and wet, and spin it dry. Then stretch it out and let it dry. It may lay flatter for you afterwards :D:D:D

When pinning use safety pins, sorry, I didn't think to say that. The way everyone here talks you won't need to pin if you use the spray basting. I have a pet bird and won't try the spray, I get my quilts ready for quilting in the dining room and afraid the spray my affect him.

Safety pins is what i used on my quilts didn't think about it on this table runner.

Love your May basket quilt. I did one for my daughter 15 years ago when she got married.

I will try washing it too.

I only pin around the edges. It helps hold them together with so much handling thru the machine.

Another handy option I found recently is water soluable thread. I used it to baste areas I wasn't doing stitching in and it washes out after. It does help prevent shifting. I did this in addition to the spray baste.

Did you baste before quilting? sounds like that could be the problem.

I pinned the top really, really good then quilted it on the machine. Then I basted the edge before sewing the binding on.
